Hessica Hessica

*a fabulous girlfriend post*

Jessica and I have been best friends since the second grade- 17 years!!!! I'll never forget the day that I met her- she was riding her purple scooter, long blond hair flowing behind her. Oh I was jealous. and she had on purple rebok hightops- I knew this chick was cool. ( apparently she thought that i was part of a movie star family, because my dad was sportin' some cool shades. aw, first impressions of an 8 year old.....) That was the first day of soccer practice, we were on the Firecrackers with coach Stew. The first day of school was just a few days later, and we were in the same class with Mrs. Larson. It was my first day at a new school- go Duveneck Dragons!, so I was assigned a "buddy" to show me around. And at morning recess she promtly ditched me to go play kickball. So I was stranded, all alone at a new school where I didn't really know anybody, and more importantly I didn't know where the bathroom was. Oh goodness, do I remember sitting on the bench, having to pee so bad I wanted to cry, and meekly asking anyone who walked by where the bathroom was (I think I was whispering, I was so embarassed, so of course no one heard me). Then Jessica came up, the girl with the long flowing blond hair and purple shoes. My hero. She showed me where the bathroom was and instantly became my best friend.

We've been through a lot together. Lots of laughs, lots of tears, lots and lots of drama (isn't that what girls do?) even more boys, and more boys, gossiping & giggling, sleepovers and trips, rollerskates and barbies, stalking & phone calls, highschool graduations, moving away to college, trips around the world to visit each other. a wedding. a death. Life. There have been times where we don't get to see each other, or even talk on the phone that often. But she's always been my best friend. The friend I know I can count on to listen to me cry, to get my back, to give the best advice, and who will always, ALWAYS make me laugh and show me a good time.
She will be the godmother to my first child, and my first daughter will have her namesake. I love my Hessica Hessica, J.L. cool R. Bestest friends forever
Love ya chica!!!
